Practice makes perfect.

When recording rap, it is a good idea to adjust the distance between the microphone and the pop filter, taking the following points into consideration.

Basic Distance

• Microphone and pop guard: 5-10cm
• Pop guard and mouth: 5-10cm
• Microphone to mouth: 100cm

Key points for adjustment

• Volume:
  • If you speak loudly, move the microphone a little farther away from your mouth to prevent distortion.
  • If you have a quieter voice, try moving the microphone a little closer to your mouth to improve sound quality.
• Microphone Type:
  • If you have a highly directional microphone, it doesn’t hurt to move the microphone a little closer to your mouth.
  • If you have a less directional microphone, move the microphone a little further away from your mouth to reduce the interference from surrounding noise.
• Recording environment:
  • If you’re in a large room, move the microphone a little farther away from your mouth to reduce sound reflections.
  • If your room is small, try moving the microphone a little closer to your mouth to improve sound quality.

others

• A pop guard not only prevents saliva and breath from coming into direct contact with the microphone, but also helps reduce popping noises caused by plosive sounds (such as P and B).
• The distance between the microphone and the pop filter is only a guide. Find the optimal distance while actually recording.
• We recommend listening back to the recording, checking the sound quality and noise, and then adjusting the distance between the microphone and the pop filter.

Wouldn’t it be better to use AI to make beats these days?

It’s important, but it’s also important to find your own flow.

Apply delay, record an overlay, etc.

Because it’s a surveillance society, rapper has to be especially careful about what you say.

The rhythm, tempo, intonation, and rhyming patterns used in rapping.

I think 40% rap / 60% beat is good. But when rappers mix it, it often becomes 60% rap / 40% beat. 😅

The basic idea is to upload consistently.

Record it again in a quiet room.
